UK Horse Racing Tips: Newbury

This looks like an ideal opportunity for Irish raider SHE'S QUALITY, following a strong runner-up effort at the Curragh last time out. She can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, with costly newcomer Romantic Style and promising Salisbury third Star Music looking best placed to chase her home. Assema and Looking For Queen can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Shes Quality 2nd Star Music 3rd Romantic Style

LOADED QUIVER deservedly got off the mark when just holding on at Brighton last time out and he sets the standard on the back of that effort. Conditions look to be in his favour once more and Archie Watson's charge is narrowly preferred to This Time Maybe, who ran a career best when second at Windsor over further. Kempton winner American Tale and Knicks can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Loaded Quiver 2nd This Time Maybe 3rd American Tale

A determined winner at Lingfield last time out following a pair of solid runner-up efforts, FLYING SPIRIT looks the one to beat again and he can notch up a third career victory on just his sixth career outing on turf. That may be at the main expense of the unexposed Dark Desire and Captain Cuddles, who ran his best race as a three-year-old when runner-up over C&D last time out.
Prediction : 1st Flying Spirit 2nd Captain Cuddles 3rd Dark Desire

ISLAND BANDIT ticks a lot of boxes with two wins from three starts here, one over this trip, and, as the four-year-old also handles the predicted going, he seems to have every chance. He took a similar race last time out at Sandown and, although he has a 5lb penalty to carry, there may be more to come. Classic was a good fourth in a better race here over a furlong shorter and has every chance if he gets home, while Crack Shot is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Island Bandit 2nd Classic 3rd Crack Shot

Edge Of Ember was expected to do better when sent off favourite at Chelmsford on his first start after wind surgery, but he is upped in trip now and may improve. African Star is hard to gauge after winning his maiden at 80/1, and he could surprise a few on his handicap debut, but RAGOSINA is narrowly preferred. She ran on into third despite becoming unbalanced at Newmarket and sports first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Ragosina 2nd Edge Of Ember 3rd African Star

William Haggas won this in 2021 and has an interesting contender here with Unlimited, who was third on his latest start and has been gelded since. He needs to improve, but a mark of 70 for his handicap debut looks fair. Gold Aura has done little wrong with a second and a third this season and she could also have some say, but KHINJANI is hard to oppose. A winner last time out at Haydock, she travelled well throughout for a comfortable success and an added 2lb may not be enough to stop her.
Prediction : 1st Khinjani 2nd Gold Aura 3rd Unlimited
